"The hydrogen in a clathrate can be released when heated to 207 degrees Fahrenheit. The clathrate's environmentally friendly byproduct: water."

I wonder if this isn't a typo, and if the clathrate doesn't actually release the hydrogen at -207 degrees Fahrenheit. It would be great if it was stable to +207 degrees F, but somehow I doubt it.

At any rate, some very interesting chemistry here, and, after all, at SOME point, we WILL run out of fossil fuels and HAVE to switch over to some non-fossil form(s). This just might be a technology that will make storage and transmission by hydrogen practical.

University of Chicago scientists have proposed a new method for storing hydrogen fuel in this week's online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Strange. I checked this week's online edition and I don't see any hydrogen fuel stored in it.

Lazy Journalism.

Good catch! I'm sure it's a dropped minus sign.
